Blueberry Glacé Pie - Blue Monday

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I am readying myself for a feast of epic proportions. Tomorrow is Bob's birthday and I've spent a good part of the day preparing for the celebration. Bob is a pie person, so, while there will be a token cake holding a passel of candles, the real emphasis will be on some of his favorite pies. The pie I'm featuring today has been around for quite awhile. Before image consultants took it uptown, it was called an icebox pie. For better or for worse, it's now referred to as a glacéd pie. Fortunately, it has remained easy to do and it's a wonderful recipe to have on hand for berry season. It is a pure berry tart and, unlike many icebox pies, this one has no custard filling. While I used a crumb crust for this occasion, short crusts are also wonderful with this tart. Be sure to use fresh berries when making this pie. Frozen berries exude too much liquid and will keep the filling from setting properly. Those of you who love fruit will love the zen-like simplicity of this pie. Here's the recipe.

Mary, tell Bob "Happy Birthday!" Mike loves blueberry pie and we have blueberries on our bushes at the farm. I'm going to give your recipe a go when they get ripe. Thanks for sharing. The recipe I've been using the last few years uses a short crust, so I will enjoy trying the crumb crust. I also like the addition of orange liqueur.

I make a very similar pie but without the orange liquer. Now that I see it in your list of ingredients, I am definitely going to have to try it. Mary, this looks super good, and is the single best way I know to showcase blueberries in a pie.

Hi Mary,Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. I've been on kind of a blogging break lately, just not much time to post or visit. I was so happy to see you pop in over at The Motivation Station too. Have a great week! :-)

This looks really easy and delicious! What a great way to make a healthful sweet treat. I love pies and will definately make this. I just made a gross zucchini lemon pie - but at least the crust came out good ;o)Thanks for the inspiration as always :)

Hello Mary, I have been gone for 4 days on an antique shopping spree in Ohio and KY. My sister is a dealer and I went along for the fun. I'm hoping you won't give up on me Mary. I love visiting your wonderful blog so I will always be back for more. smile.

Happy birthday to your hubby tomorrow. I too prefer pie to any other dessert. My dad was a pie guy too. My mom catered to his love of pie. We had lots pf pie during my growing up years.

I love this recipe. I have a strawberry pie recipe that is very much like this one. Fresh strawberries are a must as well. It sounds delicious.

Have a happy cooking day. I wonder what you will cook for the big day.
